How are there not severe injuries all the time in rugby?

Watch how they tackle. They don't lead with their head nor go uncontrolled full speed into an opponent. A lot of times they grab to force someone down. Not having helmets and shoulder pads changes your perspective.

There’s a lot more grabbing and not hitting.

Where was the Free Safety at?**

They would not fit in a rowboat.**

That's the biggest thing. I don't want to say it makes them more "timid" as far as their approach to tackling, but it makes them more strategic and efficient (?) in the way they tackle.

Watched both games today, tried to understand the rules as play went on. Still don't understand how you stop anyone. Put the ball carrier on the ground and ball is being fumbled about, but then gets free and lateraled.

Seriously.

One possible answer is: Bob Sanders doesn't play rugby. If he did, there would be many more injuries.



EDIT: Apparently, the NFL won't let me embed the video of Bob Sanders taking names and kicking ***. Sorry fellas.
